RS PRO Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensor, M18 x 1 PNP 30V 8 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 8mm Maximum Detection, M18x1 Thread Size - 1113891

This proximity sensor is a cylindrical, flush-mount inductive device designed to detect metallic and plastic targets in industrial automation environments. It operates from a DC supply and provides a PNP switching output via a 4-pin M12 connector, offering a Compact sensing solution for machine control, positioning and object detection tasks where robust environmental protection is required.

Features & Benefits

• 8mm sensing range delivers precise target detection
  10V to 30V supply supports standard industrial DC systems
  1kHz switching frequency enables high-speed cycle response
  200mA continuous current handles typical load demands
  IP67 enclosure protects in wet and dusty conditions
  Nickel-plated brass housing offers enhanced mechanical longevity

**Applications**

• Suitable for detecting plastic components on conveyors
  Ideal for position sensing in automated assembly lines
  Used with Compact actuators for proximity feedback
  Can be used for metal part counting at high cycle rates
  Suitable for integration in control cabinets with limited space

How is the sensor connected electrically on site?

It uses a male M12, 4-pin connector for plug-and-play connection to control wiring and I/O modules.

What protections are included against wiring faults?

The unit incorporates reverse-polarity, short-circuit and power-up Pulse protection to reduce installation risk.

How does ambient temperature affect performance?

It operates across –25°C to +75°C with a typical hysteresis of 5% to 15% and a temperature-related drift of sensing range around ±10%.

What mounting considerations apply for flush installation?

Flush fitting requires metal mounting to maintain specified sensing behaviour
two supplied metal nuts secure the M18x1 thread.
